Razor’s Edge - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Got a letter from Davie just the other day

Livin' in Queensland was not okay

Said he can't find the money just to pay the rent

And the food and the herb, well they're just heaven sent

And he's been livin' on the razor's edge

And tryin' to touch the sun

And he won't fall for that same old trick again

And Cathy's alright, she just gets lonely everyday

She's livin' with a dream-world of yesterday

And there she is, but here she'll stay

"Well it just never works out," she said, "anyway!"

She's been livin' on the razor's edge

And tryin' to touch the sun

And she won't fall for that same old trick again

Lulu's too tired of livin' down beside Torquay

She's gettin' herself together, financially

Says "one of these days I'm just gonna lie in the sun

But right now I'm wondering does that day ever come?"

And she's been livin' on the razor's edge

And tryin' to touch the sun

And she won't fall for that same old trick again

Got a letter from Davie just the other day

And the note just read, "please come to Byron Bay"

Well the heart says "go", and the head says "stay" (that way)

And the big wheels just keep turnin' everyday

And don't go livin' on the razor's edge

Or tryin' to touch the sun

'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again

(That's what they tell ya')

Well we're livin' on the razor's edge

And tryin' to touch the sun

And we won't fall for that same old trick again

We're livin' on the razor's edge

And tryin' to touch the sun

And we won't fall for that same old trick again

Oh, no

Such a fine line, I was meanin' to write
